I expect EACH and EVERY one of you to make this. Actually my friend Betty did
and this is the recipe she used from JOY OF COOKING. It is delicious... Cook
the ingredients SLOWLY for 2 hours. Prepare your favorite pie shells (for 2
crust pie) and heap with mincemeat; flavor w/ more brandy of course and bake at
450 degrees for about 30 minutes. NOTE: I set the ingredients to 20 the
recipe for the mincemeat (20 pies) but you can reformat for 1; and 1 pie.
